Fire Cider Class at The Highland Center

The Highland Center Programs Coordinator Jen Rattigan is set to host a Herbal Vinegars and Fire Cider making workshop on Sunday, October 27 from 2-3 p.m. in the Highland Center Pavillion.

Vinegar has been used for thousands of years for a variety of medicinal purposes, including 

blood sugar control, weight loss, food preservation, and cholesterol reduction. Vinegar’s antimicrobial properties also make it wonderful for cleaning applications as well as wound healing.

Fire cider is an herbal tonic that’s used to boost immunity, help with digestion, and warm you up on a cold day. The basic recipe combines horseradish with root vegetables like ginger, garlic, and onions, which are then dissolved in apple cider vinegar. Hot peppers are added to make it fiery. 

The mix sits in a mason jar for about a month to infuse. Some people like to add honey, citrus, or cinnamon for taste and additional antioxidants. 

Come learn something new at the Herbal Vinegars and Fire Cider making workshop on October 27 from 2-3 p.m. at the Highland Center Pavillion.
